REVIEW CHAGRIN VALLEY SOAP- CARROT AND HONEY

This is a review of the Carrot Milk and Honey bar. I really like this bar because it has a very creamy lather and is very very moisturizing. Because of my Devics/MS I dont like lotion on my skin unless I have to use it. My skin is very sensitive to touch. This soap had my skin so soft and moisturized after the first use it quickly became my favorite. It has a very light scent.I mean very very light scent, you can tell nothing was added to scent this soap so it is excellent if you wear perfume or you just want that natural smell it is definitely on my list for a full bar upgrade just for the moisturizing properties alone which are amazing.The size of the sample was also about 1/3 the size of a full bar which is huge, it is surely enough for at least ten uses. I'm sure you can get more, I am going to keep track of the number of uses and post an update list. Overall I am surely going to order this in a full size.
So far I've used it about 3 times and there is plenty left.

Today's battle

Yesterday was a pretty good day. I managed to get some good quality rest and enjoy the game. However today I'm heavy on the vitamin D3 and Vitamin C, it seems that I'm trying to catch some sort of bug.....which is not good for my MS so keep a sister in prayer. I did manage to excercise today and put in an order for more vitamins and some goodies from Chagrin Valley soaps. In addition I am really trying to manage my stress level because that further exascerbates my condition, but I will be okay because I'm built so strong. Just a short post about today and whats going on, keep following and hopefully I can give you some useful information.

REVIEW CHAGRIN VALLEY SOAP

This is a review for Chagrin Valley Soap- I recently purchased a few items from this company. 1st- the turn around time was excellent I ordered on Tuesday, got a shipping noticce Wednesday with a tracking number, and received my order on Friday. All of the items were in sample sizes, which are about the size of 1/4 a regular bar of store bought soap. The full size bars are about the size of a regular hand 2x the size of a regular bar of soap. The product that this review is for is the Neem and Tea Tree Oil Hair and Body shampoo. OMG THIS STUFF IS THE BOMB. 2nd- I love the herbal medicinal smelll for some reason. you can smell the oil in this soap. You can also feel it penetrating your scalp. 3rd- There are so many indications for the use of this soap, dandruff, psoriasis,eczema, scalp issues, acne,rashes, and etc. there are reviews on the website that attest to the benefits of this soap. After 1 use on my hair I am a true fan. My first poo-bar was a turn off(OYIN) but this one left my hair clean yet soft, and not stripped..I had a noticable moisture, and it wasnt tangled. I felt the sensation of the oil penetrating my scalp, Most of all there was no residue left on my hair or scalp. This product has a great lather for a soap bar it is more than I expected. Bottom line is that this will continue to be my poo-bar, I will not go back to bottled shampoo. I also used this on my daughter's
4c hair, which is super thick, always tangled and dry,and never gets clean. The results were great. I love it for her hair too, and it was a little easier to detangle.She ehas scalp problems and her scalp does not like complex oils or oil mixes- absolutely no reaction from her sensitive scalp. So if you have an extra 3.00 bucks lying around, it is worth it to try, you get what you expect.

HAIR HEALTH

Since I've been diagnosed with Devics (MS), I started doing lots of different things. My first endeaver was going natural. I didn't realize I was going natural. I had death in the family in October of 2009, and just didn't take time to go and get it permed. I had been natural before in 1998 and it lasted about 8 months, at that time I started with a big chop. A boy type cut that was very short. This time I transitioned.



MY TRANSITION
In October of 2009, my last relaxer was two months old and I wore a sew in weave. This was easy and convenient for me. I wore it for about 5 weeks. When I removed it I washed and re intalled it wearing this throughout December. Then I got really ill with the devics and went into the hospital. I ended up wearing that weave until February, not by choice of course. While in rehab I wore my own hair which was super thick with newgrowth. I had braids done in the latter parts of my rehab. Once I came home I unbraided my hair to have it rebraided and my newgrowth was about 3-4inches long. I wore it for about a week and had all my permed hair cut off. I was totally natural and have been since.



FROM ME TO YOU
In this blog I will shaare with you experiences about my hair, as it is closely related to my health. That was my main concen when I found out that the treatment I had to receive for Devics was chemotherapy. Last time I got treatment I had a weave but this time I can monitor the condition of my hair, and share it with my readers because both are important to me.

TREATMENT

So, lastweek I went in to the cancer treatment center in Jupiter to have treatment for my Devics(MS). This was my second treatment and I am really optimistic. I have a lot of faith in God that all things work together for the will of God. The doctor is a real butthole, I had to file a complaint on. My neurologist Dr.Linda Pao is the best. She is the smartest and most professional doctor I've seen in a while. I am going to continue seeing her although she is all the way in Jupiter.
